Can Sinopec and Shell gasoline be mixed?
1 Answers
Gasoline can be mixed, and here are the relevant details: Gasoline can be mixed: For gasoline from different companies, the country has strictly standardized the main components of additives in gasoline. Even if mixed, it will not cause harm. In emergency situations, Sinopec and PetroChina gasoline can be mixed occasionally, but from a long-term perspective, it is not recommended to mix gasoline from different oil companies. Gasoline composition: The main components of gasoline are C5-C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, as well as a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into grades such as 89, 92, and 95 based on the octane number. Gasoline is produced by refining different gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, and then blending them with high-octane components. It is mainly used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.
